yup, xxr 513s. i had just melted the pinstripe off the fronts

 

they look ******* sweet!! I thought about getting a set, but some comments on their performance held me up. How do they perform??

 

I haven't broken them.... and as per Savington's benchmarks (teehee) I run below spec miata times.

Would lighter be nicer? probably... but 390 shipped to my door new for track wheels.... uh... I can't say no to that.

 

So are the gaps on the edges of the lip large enough to draw sufficient air in to cool the brakes with some ducting?

 

I would believe so. I'll be running my ducting from them for next season.

 

Word, exactly what I was thinking too. It is perfect for a splitter. Thanks for testing it for us Splitime. Great job on the scrounged hardware low budget splitter too
So I have a crapload of the thin coroplast, but I was talking with Emilio the other day about the heavier duty version of it. I am thinking that is what you used from the looks of it. Where did you get it? My splitter for the NB is finished but now I need to build one for the NA.

 

Got the splitter in yesterday. The material seems drastically more durable than what was on the two exploded GV lips I had. Feels as though it is the same stiffness and toughness level as the OEM lip, a bit more flexable than the GV.

My GV lip shattered into pieces on the freeway after receiving it for about a month, when I ran into a small piece of truck tire on the freeway at 60mph. Saw the pricing and quality on the TougeRun Lip and never going back to GV Lip.

TR=Flex > GV = Brittle plastic

 

Wish I saw this post before I bought the discounted GV lip. Count down to Exploding lip t-100days

 

tried to contact these guys and got no reply. are they still operating?

 

Yes, they are still in business.

 

They dont have a phone number do they?

 

Oh, another small update on mine. I managed to bottom the splitter/lip out on a railroad crossing. Bent my splitter supports, ripped lip off bumper (the side to self tap screws, 2 on each far side)... and lip is still in perfect shape.

 

Wow, any damage other than the bending?

 

would it be possible for another group buy?

 

very interested in the lip

 

What kind of splitters are you guys running with the GV/TR lips?

 

so how would i be able to start something like a group buy ?>

 

Contact tougerun and pitch it to them

GV lip is busted and on a shelf in my parent's garage.
